Home Sweet Second Home

Ahhhh San Diego.

A place near and dear to my heart since I spent many of my own childhood years on these beaches... and then met and fell in love with my husband in San Diego many years later =) It's a little piece of my heart, and we escape to it as often as we can. This time, we stayed for a week- and it was seriously one of the best weeks' we've had in a long time. Sleeping in... morning walks on the beach to get breakfast and coffee, spending out afternoons at parks and beaches... totally perfect.

Ty's new favorite thing to do this trip was to use his shovel to collect sea shells.... which are obviously in plentiful supply in San Diego... and so I had about 5 pounds of sea shells by the end of the week. I just didn't have the heart to throw any back, each time he ran up to me eagerly with a new tiny shell =)

We played in the pool each day after wearing ourselves out at the beach, and the kids were more entertained by climbing and wrestling with dad, than anything else.

And one of my highlights of the trip was an afternoon spent at the La Jolla Cove, which has always been one of my favorite places ever. I remember going there as a little girls, and hunting in the caves with my bucket- searching for tiny sea crabs and cool things that were nestled in the tide pools. If you haven't ever been to the Cove before- you really need to go! It's a little gem of San Diego, and it made me so happy to see my kids enjoy it as much as I did when I was their age =)

We played mini golf, went to Belmont Park, and even went on a real pirate ship (more to come on that soon!)

And of course, we spent an afternoon at Disneyland =) I can't even count how many times we have been this year.. we are sure putting our passes to good use, that's for sure!!

And nothing says, "We had so much fun at Disneyland" like this picture:

About Us

Met and dated in college, we married in 2003 and started our adventure together as our own new family! Now, almost 8 years of marriage later, we are still blissfully in love and enjoying every minute of life with our beautiful little girl Isabella (5) and adorable son Tyler (3) God has blessed our lives immensely, and we praise Him for all the wonderful works He has started in our lives. Our deepest desire as a family is to watch our kids grow to love the Lord and follow the path He has created for us. We are excited to see what the future holds for our family...and we will continue to have fun together...its only getting better!

Introducing Our Family....

John & Bri...otherwise known to our kids as mom and dad....very much in love after 10 years together, and still making eachother laugh every day!

Miss Bella Jade

True to her name in very way. Beautiful. Humble. Loving. A gentle spirit. Independent. But loves to be a companion. So incredibly lovely, that words just don't do her justice. Loves her family. Loves Jesus. She is amazing.

Our Little Ty

He's handome. Smart. Mischievous. Snuggly with mom. Rough-and-tough with dad. Dimples deeper than the ocean. And a smile so big that it kinda makes you laugh. Eager to please. Yet, wants to do his own thing. Readily gives us kisses whenever we want. He's awesome.
